Strike, a digital payments platform built on the Bitcoin Lightning Network, recently partnered with Shopify to allow its merchants to receive bitcoin payments from customers. With this integration, Shopify merchants can receive the bitcoin as U.S dollars, according to a press release.
"We're proud to partner with Shopify to provide merchants with a cheaper and faster way to accept U.S. dollars using bitcoin technology," Jack Mallers, founder and CEO of Strike, said in the release. "The Lightning Network is a global payments network that lowers costs, enhances speed, drives innovation, improves financial inclusion, and brings the power of choice to consumers and merchants."
Strike also helps merchants save costs on processing fees with cash-final settlement, according to the release.
